Stories to think about – John the son of thunder

Our story today is about John and how Jesus calls people. Be encouraged by his story!

Hi our friend

How are you?

Mark twain was right when he said the coldest winter he ever experienced was summer in San Francisco. We had wonderful sunshine everyday but the temperatures were low. But that didn’t stop us from connecting with our community and others outside. We got to go on walks with some or connect while walking in the morning. Just by being out there we were able to encourage some or be a listening ear to others. The importance is that we are outside and use the chance to connect with others.

And also like Jesus called the son of thunder and he became a great disciple who changed the world,  let us do that today while beeing outside in our neighborhood. Let’s find the sons and daughters of thunder in our neighborhood and call them and guide them too so they can be a big part of the kingdom!!

God bless you

Stories to think about – Peter or failures made him grow

Our story today is about Peter and how all his shortcomings made him grow. Be inspired and encouraged by his life!

Hi our friend

We hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer so far!! Last week we had one of the hottest days in a really long time here in San Francisco 95°F.

During our week we were able to meet and encourage different people in different life circumstances. Its wonderful to see how God connected us with people in the past and now in this season uses us to bring hope to them. Its so important for each one of us to establish relationships with people around us to be part of their life, that way we can be there for them and they can be there for us in harder times and God can bring hope through us. Jen also hosted a Moms gathering for local moms and had a wonderful time. It was a blessing for all the participants including all the toddlers and babies since they loved having a community.

This weeks Blog topic was about Peter. He called out to Jesus when he failed and asked for his guidance. Are you asking God for guidance in your life and especially in moments of failure? If not start doing that and make it a lifestyle!!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the books of Peter

The 2 letters of Peter, the friend of Jesus, are wonderfully encouraging and challenging. Might this Intro video excite you for the book!

Hi our friend

How was your week?

Spending time outside is not just good for your health its also a wonderful way to connect with neighbors in your neighborhood. Jen is going out with Caleb and through that connects with many Moms and nanny’s on a daily basis. After I wake up I usually walk a few laps around our block and get to connect with many of our neighbors that are either walking their dogs, are on the way to work or exercise. It’s a very simple way to connect and get to know our neighbors. Start this week to get out of your home and say hello to the ones you meet outside on your street!!

Also, be encouraged by the book of Peter and learn through his 2 letters!

God bless you

Did you ever have a circumstance in your life where you felt nobody would totally understand you? Todays blog is about how Jesus understands all our life circumstances and situations. Be encouraged!!

Hi Friend

How was your week? Send us an update!!

What a great time we had all week with amazing people. After almost 3 years we got to see a family who are friends of ours. Caleb got to play with there kids and we got to catch up in the park. We don’t take times like that for granted and see each of them as a special blessing. We also got to welcome a new neighbor who just moved on our hill which was a blessing. Its so important to welcome new neighbors into our communities. It makes people wanted and cherished which is so important. We also got to help a few others in practical ways this week and had a wonderful dinner with a neighbor friend. We also worked on a promo video for the start of the new year in the love your neighbor series!! Make sure to like us on facebook or Instagram or join us on the love your neighbor network to join in!!

Have a blessed week and remember that Jesus understands you like no one else ever can!

Markus, Jen and Caleb
